Evil Duke, Please Be Gentle!

DO NOT OPEN IT, I POSTED IT WRONGLY!!!!!!

"Tsk! Do you need to run so fast!" Richard frowned when he heard Soliene complaining for the third time!

Shouldn't as an alpha she should be able to match her steps easily even if she was not able to outrun her!?

Something was wrong there! He stopped abruptly making Charlotte who was bound to him by ropes fall in the process!

"Damn wolves! You should have at least told me before stopping suddenly! I fell because of you!" They were humiliating a strong witch!

Even if she was taken as a criminal, she had her respect!!

Richard ignored her glasses and walked towards confused Soliene who was still in her wolf form like him.

He scanned her only to find one of her legs was injured badly and he turned darker. His face looked so ferocious that he could kill the whole pack and so did the witch that was still bound to his body!

He turned to glare at her with such a vicious look in his eyes that the witch shivered!

"Hey, why are you glaring at me! The wound was there because she even met me! And if I look at it, she must have had it since a few hours ago!" He turned to look back at her , staring at her with her golden eyes which were full of mirth.

He howled as he felt she was teasing him and changed his form back to human again!

"How did you get injured?" He asked with a frown on his face when she looked away!

"I can help you if you want!" he glared at the witch who was forcefully poking her nose in the whole conversation!

"Soliene!"

"Why are you getting so agitated! It had nothing to do with you! And it is not as bad as you think! It will heal after a while!" her aloof and menacing aura didn't affect him at all as he walked closer and held her arms ready to take her in his arms when she struggled and tried to push him away!

"What are you trying to do?" he ignored the glares she was giving her and held her in his arms despite the punches she was throwing on his chest!

"You are injured! It would decrease our speed! We have to reach back as I have other things to handle too!" she blinked when the realization dawned on her. He was not worried about her but he did not want to decrease their speed! And here she thought so many things!

Charlotte who was looking at the whole conversation sighed! They were more foolish than she had thought! How the hell would she bring them closer if they could not speak truth to each other and did not catch each other's sweet lies!

"Arghh!" she wanted to pull her hair after looking at the dense couple and they both turned to stare at her!

"Why are you shouting now?" asked Soliene with her brows arched upwards but the girl just glared back at her.

"Because I have an allergy to foolish people! How did you both even qualify for being alpha? Are your packs not afraid that you will sell them and yourself and even help the buyer in counting the money!" she pinched the space between her eyebrows as she took deep breaths to calm her down.

She would not achieve anything by shouting at them. She had to find a way to develop the sense into foolish people.

"Why are you creating a scene for? Do you really want to see how we run our packs?" Soliene did not like the comment as she retorted back to the witch while Richard just stared at her.

Trying to understand why she was so interested in their affair! She didn't like the one who would try to interfere in other matters without any reason. He had felt there was something amiss when she tried to attack them.

And now this!

"Hey witch! Can you heal her wound?" Most of the time witches did not have the power to protect them but basic spells like healing or transporting were their favorites!

He was sure she would know a few and as expected she nodded and her eyes shone as she looked at him!

"Of course, I do! Are you worried that she would feel pain? That is why you are asking for my help! But you do know that nothing is free in this world. Right?" she hoped that Soliene would be smart enough to notice her words as she grinned like a cunning person as she tapped her tied hands on her chin!

"And what is the cost of healing her?" He knew that it would not be free. As long as it was something he could offer, he did not mind it.;

"Hmmm, let me think about it!" she stared at Soliene with eyes full of mischief and Soliene frowned!

She didn't know why but a bad premonition filled her heart. The way the girl was looking there was no way she was going to ask anything good!

"I did not think that it was needed! I am fine and I did not feel any pain! And did you forget that we can heal automatically after some time?" she shook her head as she pulled his collar who was still staring at Charlotte and waiting for her reply.

The smile on the face of Charlotte only grew wider when she saw the panic in the eyes of Soliene.

That shows there was still a chance between them.

"It is simple! I was here to propose to you! That was why I attacked her mistakenly when I saw her so close to you! So, if you accept to mark me, I will heal her!"
